Screenshot Hotkey?

[ShadowVFX 0]

I want to make a really large, hi-rez image of my city. It will require me to take multiple screenshots and piece them together in Photoshop. To my knowledge, SC4 doesn't have a screenshot key, does it? If it does, would someone please share that info with me?

Currently I have to use Window's Print Screen, alt-tab out, paste it into PS and repeat. It'd be a lot easier if I could just take a series of screenshot and batch them into PS all at once.

I am also only aware of the win print screen method, but I would be interested if somebody has a better way.

Try a free program called InranView. It's great for in-game screenshots.

If you'd like to take a screenshot and have it save in the game: Minimize all menus, Press CTRL-SHIFT-S, and take your picture. The saved pictures will be located in you Documents\Simcity 4\Albums folder.

I think this is what I needed. I'll try it when I get home. Thanks!

Oh, and an important thing! These pics will be taken in *.png format. Once you've finished of working with your mosaic, save it as a 100% quality *.jpeg before uploading it to your image hosting site. If you upload the *.png, it will take up a bunch of space and it will load terribly slow.

I don't spend much time waiting for a pic to load when viewing people's creations, and most of us do the same. Just a tip to get more audience.
